Job 6:11
_ _ What strength have I, so as to warrant the hope of restoration to health? a hope which Eliphaz had suggested. “And what” but a miserable “end” of life is before me, “that I should” desire to “prolong life”? [Umbreit]. Umbreit and Rosenmuller not so well translate the last words “to be patient.” |
Job 6:11
Strength — My strength is so spent, that it is vain for me to hope for such restitution as thou hast promised me, Job 5:22. End — What is death to me? It is not terrible, but comfortable. That — Then why should I desire to prolong my life. But as desirous of death as Job was, yet he never offered to put an end to his own life. Such a thought will never be entertained by any, that have the least regard to the law of God and nature. How uneasy soever the soul's confinement in the body may be, it must by no means break the prison, but wait for a fair discharge. |
Job 6:11
What [is] my strength, that I should hope? and what [is] mine (h) end, that I should prolong my life?

Psalms 39:5 Behold, thou hast made my days [as] an handbreadth; and mine age [is] as nothing before thee: verily every man at his best state [is] altogether vanity. Selah.
Psalms 90:5-10 Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are [as] a sleep: in the morning [they are] like grass [which] groweth up. ...
